Al Ettifaq FC and NEOM Sports Club played out a goalless 0-0 draw in their Saudi Professional League match on January 22, 2026. The fixture at the Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium was a story of missed opportunities and resilient defending, resulting in a stalemate that suited neither team's ambitions perfectly. Al Ettifaq, playing at home, dominated possession and created the better chances, but found NEOM's goalkeeper in excellent form, making two key saves in one-on-one situations. NEOM offered a threat on the counter-attack, with their pacey forwards causing problems, but they too failed to find a clinical finish. The match lacked a true moment of quality in the final third, and as time wore on, both sides seemed to settle for a point. The clean sheet was a positive for NEOM's defense, but the draw did little to propel either team significantly up the league standings.
